Pros:

Bardzo średni hotel. Latając po europie i odwiedzając kilka hoteli rocznie ten muszę umiejscowić prawie na końcu. Najgorsze są pokoje. U nas (p.705) wentylacja (podobno z pionu kuchennego), która włączała sie automatycznie zawsze o 5.30 rano całkowicie uniemożliwiała w moim przypadku dalszy sen... choć jestem przyzwyczajony do hałasu mieszkając w mieście przy głównej drodze. Z zewnątrz zresztą hałasy samochodow i motocykli też dochodziły bo okna przesuwne nie były szczelne i dobrze wytlumione. Poza tym ciśnienie wody w umywalakach było tak małe, że na ciepłą wodę trzeba było czekać kilka minut... pod przysznicem co ciekawe bylo ok. Na plus na pewno ciapy (kapcie) i czajnik w pokoju. Jeżeli chodzi o obsługę to (prócz właściciela hotelu) ta była bardzo pomocna. Pod koniec pobytu zaproponowano nam inny pokój ale nad barem gdzie również obawialiśmy się hałasów. No i nie chciało się nam wszystkiego pakować i zostawiać w bagażowni... Jedzenie na dość niskim poziomie. Szczególnie monotonne śniadania, ale i kolacje bez szału. Najgorsza była jednak pizza, którą ostatniego dnia zamówiliśmy na obiad - jak jakaś mrożona odgrzewana, z zakalcowym ciastem (nie warta 16,50 euro)... Hotel raczej na 2-3 gwiazdki. Sama miejscowość jednak bardzo fajna i z dość niskimi cenami (prócz hotelu).

A comfortable hotel conveniently located - if your a holiday maker wanting a busy hotel and area
Pros:

We wanted a hotel room for two nights to access facilities in this region and also close to the airport, this property met those requirements.

Cons:

We saw that all the sun beds very soon became occupied, there seemed to be less sun beds than guests, so possibly regularly a shortage, many had towels on and no one with them for hours.
We didn't appreciate it was such a busy 'Brits' holidaying area, so we didn't research very well!!

This is for people who enjoy lounging around a pool on a sun chair all day long.
Pros:

Excellent and friendly staff. Clean. Room quite comfortable and well equipped.

Cons:

I think beach hotels in built up areas like Benalmadena are just not for me anymore. However, I also thought that the swimming pools were on the small side. In addition, I did not rate the cooking. The quality of the raw food was fine.

Hotel location on the beach is great. Easy walk into Torremolinos. I would recommend this hotel.
Pros:

Lovely sea view from the room with a nice balcony. Room layout good, large wardrobes, plenty of hangers, and dual sinks (very important if you're travelling with your partner! ;-) ) Large overhead shower and lower/detachable shower (if you don't want to get your hair wet). Rooms bright and clean. The pool area looked good though we didn't use it. The breakfast here exceeded my expectations, lots of variety, alternative milks, all food very fresh and beautifully presented. Caters for healthy and not so healthy eaters

Cons:

No negatives. If I stayed again I would ask for an additional floor towel as the sinks are outside of the main shower room
